Over the next half-month, Brent, the vice-president of the Royal Capital First Magic Academy, worked without sleep or rest, completely absorbed in studying the excavated ancient objects.
Aside from those, this Soul Intent High-level Arcanist also discovered thirty-three useful items among the rest of the artifacts, making Velin feel quite ashamed of himself.
Fortunately, he had brought everything back originally; if he had discarded all of it, he did not know how massive the losses would have been.
After some tinkering by Brent, an 18-piece assembly of inconspicuous, fragmented items pieced together a magic instrument.
The former legion commander's tent had already been enveloped by three layers of magic barriers.
Inside, there were a total of six people: Alfred Silvis, commander of the Sixth Commander's Department; the deputy commanders Alex Simisis, Asad Lightend, and Ivilios Ex; Vice-president Brent; and Velin.
Of course, the five bigwigs gathered around the magic instrument in a detailed discussion, while Velin stood to the side serving tea and pouring water, busy and thoroughly enjoying it.
"That rumor from the Fifth Commander's Department claiming the existence of an Ancient Magic Puppet Legion is a lie. I really want to see the looks on their faces when they find out we've discovered something."
"It won't hurt to tell them after we've thoroughly studied it. What if this ancient magic instrument doesn't display news of the Ancient Magic Puppet Legion ruins? Then we'll lose face completely."
Hearing Alfred Silvis's words, the three nodded in agreement; it was still better to be cautious.
As for Brent, he had eyes only for this ancient magic instrument, and he had no interest in the struggles between the various command departments.
"Why don't we fetch a moon elf and use her blood to test whether we can activate this ancient magic instrument?"
